@stueytheround Ok, but Freddie because I'm a crazy cat lady.
@tippitiwichet You might relate to all four to varying degrees. It's not about picking your favourite, but who you feel the greater connection with. The cats tipped the balance and that's ok.
@stueytheround That’s so hard!
@stueytheround Fine, Bowie won. But I warn y'all, he's not housebroken very well. Freddie is def more house friendly.
@tippitiwichet There are no "winners". It wasn't a competition. ❤️
I chose those four because they were all very different characters.
@stueytheround That's the second time you've been overly kind to a joke, did something happen that I missed with you too? Am I spending way too much time with my art supplies? I'd apologize for that, except that I'm likely to do it again.
@tippitiwichet 🤣 Ah don't mind me. I'm just not reading the room! 🤣
@tippitiwichet Interesting that nobody really felt they relate to James Brown the most and only a few picked Prince.
Possibly because Brown has a difficult personal history in which he was abusive to women, including being a violent partner to his wife. His music is a fond part of another era in my life, but I'm glad folks don't identify with him personally!

@MLClark
I chose him in part *because* of those issues.
Then either we're in the clear with abusers here, or any abusers here aren't going to admit to their abusive natures, even in an anonymous poll! 🎉 I choose to lean toward the former.
@MLClark @stueytheround @tippitiwichet I have real trouble separating the art from the artist. The acid taste...
@MLClark I think you're right 💪🏼 @tippitiwichet
@stueytheround No one voted James Brown? 😔 He would've been my second choice.
@stueytheround How dare you make me pick between Bowie and Freddie Mercury! I have pets who are offended, sir!
